Preplanning a sequel seems backwards only if you're looking at it as a movie rather than a business plan. The end game for 'blockbusters' isn't good box office sales, its the creation of a new franchise that is worth much more than just ticket receipts. (Plus, they can contract the actors in to future projects now before their value increases due to success) So, yes, franchise planning is way advanced of the single film release. Just look at what Disney is planning with Star Wars.

Although it will be slow and expensive as hell with additional fees for high traffic websites like Amazon. It's easy and "fair" to make sure everybody has shit. We don't want hurt feelings now do we?

You have this backwards. Net Neutrality would *prevent* service providers for isolating and monitizing traffic, not cause it. As things stand today, it is only a matter of time before the large service providers decry anyone watching Netflix as a bandwidth "abuser', and come up with an additional 'premium' fee for anyone that wants to watch video over their existing Internet connection. This is what Net Neutrality is intended to mitigate.
